[tips] Interesting ADHD and sleep
I found this New York Times article very interesting. All correlational, of course, but intriguing studies showing that sleep deficits in children and adults are associated with ADHD behaviors in both in a large number of cases. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/28/opinion/sunday/diagnosing-the-wrong-deficit.html?utm_source=feedly_r=1; Paul --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

Re: [tips] Interesting ADHD and sleep
Interesting, but the author has a huge personal investment. He has had sleep/activity problems and appears to be on an upper/down med cycle (among other things). It's an interesting hypothesis (misdiagnosis is certainly common in the ADHD world) but I'd withhold judgement until someone does some really solid research.

Re: [tips] Interesting ADHD and sleep
Fascinating ideas. The ADHD behaviors presented are pretty broad, and certainly sleep problems can contribute to many cognitive/attentional problems (a general principle?), so it would be surprising if there weren't some association. As he notes, we really need research, but there are many obstacles to developing such research programs. G.L.
